Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .

The aircraft is a stylized representation of the B-17 (at the time as recognizable to the public as the jeep), which was a prototype in 1936 and saw first action in 1942. Long before first action the waist gunners position changed from a teardrop bubble to a rectangular one. The fuel truck nearby is of late thirties vintage rather than forties. My guess is 1940 +/- 1 year.
The stylized representation of an aircraft is likely the B17, prototyped in 1936 and first action seen in 1942. Well before the first action the waist gunners bubble had changed from a teardrop shaped bubble like this one to a rectangular bubble. The B17 was at the time as recognizable and well known to the US public as the Jeep. The fuel truck nearby is representative of late 1930s vintage rather than early 1940s. Using this highly scientific carbon-dating process my guess is 1940 +/- 1 year.
And because my computer is about as old and slow, I thought my comment had been lost. So not only do you get two guesses, but three entries. So far its unanimous.
I second .. wait, third .. or is it fourth(?) .. your conclusions! 🙂
